can't date friends (part 1)

most people would say that one of the best relationships exist when two best friends fall in love. on the other hand, i've always believed that as crap. i'd be lying if i don't admit that as something that's totally romantic. however, it's still crap.

i firmly believed that two people of the opposite sex can be the best of friends with both parties not remotely entertaining thoughts of attraction for the other.but who was i kidding? there's always one party who betrays the other. i had been best friends with a few guys to realize that in all relationships, i've betrayed my own beliefs. i was just too proud to admit it then.

whenever i felt the attraction building up inside me for my best guy friend of the moment, i never really entertain it. i'm good at suppressing my feelings. and when i do just that without telling anyone, whatever attraction was felt, will just die down and disappear into oblivion. maybe that's why i thought that a platonic relationship can really exist because i was hiding the evidence.

however, something happens that you can't deny. the other party then starts to betray your friendship. there's always a confession of feelings or most guys just acts on the physical attraction when they feel it. they hesitate, but they still act on it. that's when my advocacy for platonic relationships gets crumbled.

i hate the betrayal, but not long enough to admit to myself that i just got scared. then the moment just simply passes me by. so does the old friendship. but when i've overcome that, that's when the real friendship supposedly starts to exist. however, you're only lucky if the other party is even around for that.
